The document describes a modification to a predicate CT scanner primarily focused on mechanical changes for seated patient imaging. There is no mention of AI, ML, or advanced image processing techniques that would typically indicate the presence of such technology.
No.
The device is described as a Computed Tomography X-Ray System intended to produce images of the body for diagnostic purposes, not for treating conditions or diseases.
Yes
Explanation: The device is a Computed Tomography X-Ray System intended to produce images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data. Imaging devices that produce images of the body for medical purposes are considered diagnostic devices as they provide information used in the diagnosis of diseases or conditions.
No
The device description explicitly details hardware components like a patient chair, wall-mounted sliding platform, and gantry, and the performance studies include electrical safety and bench testing, indicating it is a hardware-based system with associated software.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly states that the device is a Computed Tomography X-Ray System intended to produce images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data. This describes an in vivo imaging device, not a device used to examine specimens derived from the human body (which is the definition of an in vitro diagnostic).
- Device Description: The description details a CT scanner that images patients while seated. This further reinforces its use for imaging the human body directly.
- Lack of IVD characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, reagents, or any other elements typically associated with in vitro diagnostics.
Therefore, the P-ARTIS CT scanner is an in vivo diagnostic imaging device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description
The P-ARTIS CT scanner is an adaptation of the cleared Philips AcQSim-Multislice-CT scanner (K033357, aka Brilliance Big Bore 16 Slice CT scanner) for imaging patients in a seated position. This adaptation is designed by P-Cure in agreement with Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland), Inc. P-Cure has developed a patient Chair and a wall mounted Sliding Platform that is responsible for moving the Gantry up and down along the center axis of the Gantry opening while the patient is seated. The Gantry motion serves to position the scan plane at the start of the region to be scanned and to increment the position of the scan plane during the scan itself.
Being a modification of the cleared Philips AcQSim CT scanner, the principal mode of operation and the essential principles of operation are the same as those of the AcQSim CT scanner. A difference yet exists in the implementation of the scan plane incrementation: instead of moving the table with the lying patient In and Out of the scan plane, the P-ARTIS moves the Gantry scan plane Up and Down over the seated patient. The relative motion is however considered identical between the two systems.

equipment, patient, and equipment supports, components and accessories. The system is intended for scanning patients while seated.
Device Description:
The P-ARTIS CT scanner is an adaptation of the cleared Philips AcQSim-Multislice-CT scanner (K033357, aka Brilliance Big Bore 16 Slice CT scanner) for imaging patients in a seated position. This adaptation is designed by P-Cure in agreement with Philips Medical Systems (Cleveland), Inc. P-Cure has developed a patient Chair and a wall mounted Sliding Platform that is responsible for moving the Gantry up and down along the center axis of the Gantry opening while the patient is seated. The Gantry motion serves to position the scan plane at the start of the region to be scanned and to increment the position of the scan plane during the scan itself.
Being a modification of the cleared Philips AcQSim CT scanner, the principal mode of operation and the essential principles of operation are the same as those of the AcQSim CT scanner. A difference yet exists in the implementation of the scan plane incrementation: instead of moving the table with the lying patient In and Out of the scan plane, the P-ARTIS moves the Gantry scan plane Up and Down over the seated patient. The relative motion is however considered identical between the two systems.
Substantial Equivalence:
The P-ARTIS CT scanner as well as its two predicates, the AcQSim system and the Somatom system, are all CT scanners intended to produce images of the body by computer reconstruction of X-ray transmission data taken at different angles and planes. The adaptation of the P-ARTIS system for scanning seated patients has no effect on its fundamental intended use or indications for use nor does it alter the P-ARTIS diagnostic characteristics or quality attribute as a CT scanner.
The P-ARTIS system is basically its predicate device, the Philips AcQSim system, that has been modified by P-Cure in order to enable imaging patients in a seated position. Consequently, the P-ARTIS system is comprised of hardware (HW) and software (SW) components that are highly similar to those of its AcQSim system predicate. The modifications introduced relate to the configurational changes that apply for scanning a seated patient and they do not change the fundamental control elements and processes. Also, the same key operational procedures and mode of operation apply to both systems and the types of acquired images are shared: Surview, Axial, and Helical. As a result, the essential functionality, capabilities, and output of the P-ARTIS system as a CT scanner are kept as its AcOSim predicate.
5
Both the P-ARTIS system and its Siemens predicate (i.e., the Somatom system) consist of a moving gantry rather than a moving patient table. The scan control in the Somatom system is designed to move the gantry relative to the table instead of moving the table relative to the gantry. In the P-ARTIS system, a patient chair is included instead of a CT table, and the gantry is movable vertically to the chair. That is, in both the Somatom and the P-ARTIS systems, the gantry movement functions like the movable table in other CT scanners. While the direction of the gantry movement is different as well as the type of patient support (table vs. chair), the same fundamental concept of having a movable gantry that moves along a stationary patient support is applied in both systems.
A comprehensive testing program was performed in order to demonstrate the safety and performance of the P-ARTIS CT scanner. The testing program included the following main aspects:
- 트 Electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility testing, performed in an external laboratory according to AAMI/ANSI ES60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2 standards.
- . Bench testing, performed using phantoms and demonstrated the imaging capabilities and accuracy of the P-ARTIS CT scanner and its comparability to the Philips AcQSim predicate.
- . Software verification and validation testing
Tests results indicated that the P-ARTIS CT scanner performs according to its specifications and to the requirements established for a CT scanner.
Conclusion:
P-Cure Ltd. believes that the P-ARTIS CT scanner is as safe and effective as its predicate devices for its intended use and is substantially equivalent to its predicate devices without raising any new safety and/or effectiveness issues.
